Happy Dance

Diann Arnett - Vancouver Island

I was over the moon!!!! I found these little beauties new, never wore in a second hand store. When I saw them my heart skipped a beat...I broke out in a light sweat!!! Could they be!!? Is this true??!! In MY size !! Oh be still my heart!!! Love ...love love them!! Super comfy, cute as a bugs ear babeeeeee!

My First Minis!

Darlene - Vancouver, BC

I'm so excited to have found these! Although I got them used, they're no less wonderful. I don't own any heels over 2" anymore due to feet issues and the aging factor :\ The size 9s are a tad big for my size 8 feet, but insoles solved the problem and now they're no problem! :) Minis ROCK!

Happy Valentines day to me!

Bettyburbs - Toronto

Got these in the mail last night via the Fluemarket! :-D I am going to send them a valentine today! I am in LOVE!!!!

Like Great Sex for Feet

Ginger - Mississauga, Ontario

OK maybe not "exactly" the same as great sex, but you get the idea. AWESOME SHOES. My favourite so far of my 'vogs. John - please bring back the two tones so I can add to my collection. Comfortable - even after 10-12 hours on my feet. Who could ask for more? (us customers - two tone colours for spring?!!).

These shoes are PERFECTION

Melissa - Greensboro, NC

So, I have been a Fluevog drooler for years, but was never near a store. When my husband and I went to San Francisco, I was determined to actually go in.

It was fantastic. The staff was so friendly and let me try on about 5 pairs of shoes.

My husband told me to pick one, and these were it. I wanted something that had flair that I could wear daily.

These are comfortable, well made, and I get compliments everywhere I wear them. I am a generous girl, and the heels are wide enough not to make me feel like I am going to fall.

I LOVE THEM. Next time, I am going to buy a more adventurous color, but for a great staple shoe, look no further.

Best first Vogs

Elana - Perth, Western Australia

I thought I'd save my parents the hassle of finding a Christmas present for me this year, and dispatched them to the Chicago store to get me a pair of these while they were on a trip to the US. Turned out Chicago didn't have my size which caused some angst for my parents and a midnight phone call to me in Australia, but the amazing staff sourced a pair from the San Francisco store, who then couriered the shoes to my parents hotel in LA for them to pick up as they left for home. So having traipsed across half the US to get these for me my poor parents were so relieved that they fit perfectly (I'm usually an 8.5 in non Vogs, got these in a 9 on advice from the LA store) and that I LOVED them, that I think all the trauma was worthwhile. Thank you to the Chicago store for looking after my parents so wonderfully, we can only dream of such customer service in Australia :-)

Super comfort for wide feet

Leigh Ann - Los Angeles

My Husband bought these for me along with a pair of the Mini Q-Tees a year and a half ago. I already had both the Sugar boots and two pair of the Babycakes boots from the Mini line at that time and found that I needed to size down from an 8 (in the boots) to a 6 1/2 to a 7 in these shoes. My Feet are extra wide and I found the size 7 in the Gorgeous fit me perfect which is my usual non-Vog size. I love these shoes so much and can wear them 10-12 a day. I love my plain black ones, but please PLEASE bring them back in more colors, especially two toned!

Funkalicious!

TonyaK - Austria

I bought these on a whim from the Fluemarket and couldn't be happier! These will be perfect for any occasion, except maybe hiking or paragliding or waterskiing. I wear an 8 in Operettas and have a wide foot, and these fit in an 8.5. I could probably go up to a 9, because the right shoe pinches just a wee bit, but I haven't broken them in yet. They are a little squeaky, but I'm willing to overlook that <3

The best shoes in the UNIVERSE

Rachel Gilley - Asheville

I've been into Fluevogs for a few years now and this is my 5th pair. The Mini Gorgeous is the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life. I got them a size large so I could put squishy insoles inside and this worked out beautifully. They are extremely comfy, even for a day of shopping on concrete/tile floors. They are chunky and funky and I will wear these until they fall apart - not that I've EVER had a pair of Vogs fall apart.

Bring back the colors!

Patricia - Calgary

I love the Mini family, but the gorgeous and lovers are the ones I use the most. They are so comfortable and versatile, and people stop me to ask about them at least once in my day when I wear them. They are pretty true to size, and fit a bit wide in the toe, the best kind of shoe if busy running around all day. I'm a voluptious girl too, so I appreciate my shoe having plenty of shape to match my body type!
I have one pair in the LE colours from a few years ago. Any chance they might come back in different colours again?

first but not last

Lesley Daley - Los Angeles

WOW WEE. These are my Fluevog gateway shoe. It all started with this pair. I wear them with dresses ALL the time. I even wore them with a simple black dress to a very conservative job interview. I am not a tall gal, but these give me a little height and that's fun for when I am feeling sasy. They make any outfit sparkle and I have yet to wear them without someone running across the room asking me about them. They are comfortable and beautiful. I now own 6 pairs of others, but these are my staple. MUST HAVE.

Funky Fresh!

Terra - Oregon

These were one of the first Fluevogs I ever bought and they will remain a staple of my wardrobe. SO incredibly cute and timeless. The only regret I have, is that I didn't size UP an ENTIRE size. I wear an 11 in most shoes, including Vogs, but I bought a 11.5 when I really needed a 12. So in my opinion, they run small. Walking around in my 11.5 mini gorgeous hurts a bit (couldn't exchange them cuz I wore them immediately for several occasions) but I'll know better for next time!

best shoes. ever.

lauren - seattle

after a lot of 'omg these are the best shoes ever' comments from friends, i finally ducked into the fluevog store in seattle on monday. i couldn't decide between two pairs and sadly couldn't afford both, so i took a card, spent a lot of time on the web site, and went back today.

i left the store with these, after trying on an awesome but as-yet-not-on-the-site boot.

these shoes are... simply awesome. they're comfy. they look adorable, they're true to size. they don't hurt my high-arched dancer feet and the second i got home, my boyfriend kept telling me how much he liked them. the boyfriend does not do fashion or shoes, but kept saying they were sexy. :)

i'm excited for these. best purchase of the year. already planning what fluevogs will come next.

i'm converted!

love it

Candy - Indianapolisa

This shoe is even cuter in person. I am madly in love with the mini heel. It looks different with out being too funky. I wear them for work and I have no problem walking around my lab all day on them. I am looking to find another pair of minis for my upcoming b-day.

Note: I got the 7.5 and I normally wear 7, this works fine for me.

Marcie

Got these as my first pair of Fluevogs yesterday!! They are ones for the Chicago store...yellow/blue/white. Didn't think I would get something so colorful as my first pair, but they were the last pair in the store and they were in my size. I gasped with delight when Laura M opened the box and my husband took note. He secretly paid for them and took them out of the store and surprised me in the car on the way home. Great surprise, but not good for driving in Chicago traffic! I normally wear a 9.5-10 and got these in a 10.5. They fit perfect on my narrow feet and the heel doesn't slip like it does in all my other heels. I feel like I'm walking in flats and not a 3 inch heel! Laura M suggested a pad under the ball of my foot to keep my toes from slipping and that did the trick. Can't wait to wear them everywhere!!!

Greg

Awesome colour. We generally don't recommend driving in Fluevog heels - it wears the back of the heel down. :)

love them but....

peg - NJ

I have wanted these shoes for over a year and finally made the decision to get them. After dealing with some great people at a couple of stores over the phone I went with a 10 1/2 (I normally wear a 10). Loved them right out of the box and wore them that day. Big mistake. I have very high arches and insteps. The shoe comes up so high on my foot that within an hour I couldn't walk. I still love the shoes and every once in awhile take them out to look at them and put them on for a minute but sadly I'm not wearing them anywhere again. :-(

Need more colours!

Patricia - Calgary

I am absolutely in love with the mini line. They're so supportive and stylish, and actually fit wide feet! Every curvy girl should be given a pair for her birthday!
I was lucky enough to find a pair in grey/light blue / maroon and we're going to enjoy one last summer together before they retire. Any chance fluevog will come out with more colours? Or perhaps a similar looking sister with a simpler toe box?

Gorgeous!

Katie - Toronto

This was my first pair of Fluevogs in a white and maroon with blue trim. I saw them in the window passing by the store one day and fell in love with them. I still have them 10+ years later. And now I own 3 pairs of Fluevogs and am thinking of getting another...

I'm in Love with Gorgeous

Manuela - Home of HPL (RI)

These are my fourth pair of Minis. In terms of practicality, these are THE Best! I can wear them with anything or nothing. I have wide feet and to be safe I ordered them a 1/2 size up. I added an insole and can wear them barefoot or with socks equally well. Guaranteed when I wear them out, they get looks and compliments. I plan on wearing these until they literally fall off my feet; though they seem to be so well made that it's going to be a very long time before I have to worry about that. ]:o)

Love 'em!

Kali - NorCal

The more I wear these things, the more I adore them! They're great for casual wear and comfortable enough to support my feet while I lecture at work. I had a great experience trying and buying 'em at the San Francisco Union Square store, to boot! Thanks, Fluevogia! :-D

On My Second Pair

Gwyneddh - Akron, OH

I just got my second pair of these, after having worn the first ones to death. These are probably the single best pair of shoes I've ever owned. I can stand in them for eight hours and feel no pain. I own a pastry shop and I can move across a wet or dirty kitchen floor with authority and not slip. I'm complimented on them constantly. These shoes basically activate all my superpowers. After I wear the new pair to death, I'll buy a third.

Comfortable, cute, and sexy!

Kerry Krueger - Pittsburgh, PA

The Mini Gorgeous is my third pair of Minis, and my 25th (or so...?) pair of Fluevogs.

I wear a 6, and my feet are narrow. These feet true to size, and they do not slip at the heel for me. I did place gel inserts (for the ball of foot only) in these, and it helps keep my toes from slipping forward in these shoes.

I wore these the first time on a night out in New Orleans, and they were comfy straight out of the box. Dancing and walking were both involved, and my feet were very comfortable...which is saying a LOT, because I have osteoarthritis from years of running marathons with feet that are WAY too small for my height.

Overall, these are adorable shoes, that are comfortable enough to wear walking, dancing, and standing.

The best shoes ever, again....

Julia - Texas

Mini Gorgeous are my third pair of Fluevogs and though I adore my Qtees and my Zazas beyond all reason, these are the shoes that get the most attention. I am a rockstar when I wear these. My Fluevogs attract attention, compliments, and jealous stares everywhere I go, but these are the ones everybody wants. I find myself writing down the website address at least once every time I wear them. Maybe it is the classic Mary Jane style on the distinctive Mini heel or the fact that they look perfect with absolutely everything, but I think people can see themselves wearing these more than some of the other more colourful Fluevog styles. These are not "ordinary" in any way, but the style, comfort, and obvious quality compels almost everyone I see to inquire about getting a pair for themselves. I rarely wear anything but my Minis now and I think these get a little more play than the other ones. They are just so easy to wear and always right, no matter what the occasion or the outfit. I wear a 7.5 (my normal size) in the Gorgeous and Qtees, and a 7 in the Zazas. These fit a little bit tighter than the others at first, but it took very little time for them to become 'mine' and there was no unpleasantness of any kind during the brief break-in period. After several months in heavy rotation and two unexpected downpours they still look almost new. I anticipate a long and happy life with my Gorgeous shoes and I encourage anybody who is on the fence to give these a try. Another shout-out to Leah at the Seattle store for her expertise in finding the perfect fit. She told me exactly what to expect with each pair. Buy these shoes. Just allow a little extra time for autographs whenever you wear them.

I bought them as a gift

Alison - San Diego, CA

So, when I bought my first pair, the black and beige Zazas, my mother was a little jealous, if you can believe it. She'll be 64 this year--she's such a hip lady--so what better gift for her than her very own pair? (Plus, I might now be the favorite child in our family. And since I have four kids, I'm hoping this will give me a little bit of good Karma, which I'm desperately needing!) ;)

These shoes are perfect for her. They run true to size--she wears an 8, and that's the size that works best for her. The mary jane style is just adorable, and she can't believe she's walking in 3" heels. The first day she got them she wore them out with me, and she got several compliments on them. She said, "I've never had anyone ask me about my shoes! I could get used to this!"

Oh yeah!

Vicki - Vancouver

1st pair of Fluevogs (sensible and for work). Perfect and so comfortable. So glad I bought them!

We want more Gorgeous colours

Titi - Washington

I visited the NYC store too late to buy its limited edition colorway, but the Toronto gray/red/yellow pair in size 11 waited just for me! :-) I love them, and wish JF comes up with yet more interesting Mini Gorgeous color combinations soon, very soon.

Perfect shoes for dancing

Katie - San Antonio, TX

This is the PERFECT out-on-the-town shoe. They are cute (they make my 10.5 feet look small!) and have a nice grip to them, very balanced and enough stability with the hourglass heel that I NEVER had a wobbly-ankle moment. I broke them in last night: 2 solid hours of dancing at the club, and the morning after, my feet are totally fine! Muscles are sore, but my feet don't have that "just wore new shoes" feeling. Pretty impressive, for a 3" heel! Did go up a half size. Very impressed, and going by the number of compliments my 'vogs got last night, I'm going to wear these as much as possible!

Love them

Karen Ayn - Texas/Chicago/Pittsburgh

These are in my all time top 10 favorite pairs of shoes. I bought these about 5 years ago & wear them when I need to do creative web work - they are fun and inspiring.
Well worth the investment. Stylish and comfortable: They always get comments... I would call them wearable art.

My 5th pair of Vogs in as many months...

Janet - Maryland

So I have these shoes, just not in black. I got one of the few pairs made for the LA store in purple/yellow/red. Yes, they are the craziest pair of shoes I have ever purchased, and I still can't figure out if I should wear them to work. But they are unique, a bit kooky, and most importantly, so me. :o)

all time fave

Amy Orrick - Oklahoma City, OK

I have owned these for about 10 years. They always work and always get compliments. Best shoes ever.

*****

Charlotte - Seattle

Best dress shoes ever, stylish AND comfortable! The wide heel gives a lot of stability to the shoe and the no-slip sole is an asset in any situation ... dance floor ... wet sidewalk ... you really can't go wrong. What's more, I can fit my prescription orthotics in these, which is not the case with most women's dress shoes. These are like a comfortable tennis shoe cleverly disguised as a high-fashion pump. I've had these 4 years and I can't imagine ever buying a pair of pumps again unless it was an identical pair. These are absolute perfection.

'Gorgeous' is right!

Kelly - California

I saw these while at the Seattle Fluevog store, and it was love at first sight! My Gorgeous go with any outfit and they're fantastic. I used to very, very rarely wear heels because I'd lose my balance easily, but in these I've run around, climbed ladders, etc. The heel and sole are incredibly stabilizing and comfy for this heel novice! Like others have noted, definitely go up a size -- I'm normally a 9, 9 1/2 depending on the shoe, but I'm a flat out 10 in this. What I love most is that when I slip these girls on, I feel incredible -- ready to take on the world and look darn good while doing so!

Wicked heel!

Janice - Calgary, AB

I have two pair of different style Minis and love them. Only issue is that they both dig in a bit along the top of my foot. I recently tried on a 1/2 size bigger, and no digging! Wish I would have thought of that when I bought the first two pair! Always get the best compliments when I wear them :)

Mini Gorgeous

Patricia Thomsen - Grande Prairie Alberta

After much deliberation I bought a pair of these last May. As my day job calls for me to wear safety footwear I have been wearing them at my part time job where 4 hours at a time is perfect for breaking these lovelies in slowly. I love them, even during the break in period they are very comfortable. (Though at first it was heaven to take them off!)The heel doesn't even seem like it is 3". Very pleased with my purchase. I look forward to wearing them more and more frequently.

2nd pair

Jess - Everett, Wa

I just recently purchased the special "Seattle" version and I'm constantly receiving compliments. They are a nice addition to my every day black pair. Love the colors! Definitely the most stable high heel I own.

Awesome! Just Awesome!

Rebecca - Winnipeg

I got these just a few weeks ago from the Toronto store in their limited edition color combo which is Grey, Red, and Yellow. I know everyone always says this, but people really do compliment them frequently. I found them to be so awesome that I just ordered Montreal's limited edition color combo too! Man, are these shoes addictive! These ones will make pair number 25!

THE BEST FLUEVOG EVER MADE

Catherine - Ohio

OK, now that you've seen the hyperbole read on for the feedback and size guidance that is essential to a Fluevog wearer. This is my fourth pair of shoes from the Mini line. Four pair of what should be nearly identically sized shoes, THREE different sizes. That is a problem. I originally bought the Gorgeous in my normal size after buying the Qtee and finding it true to size. What a mistake. One 10-hour day in the 8.5 Gorgeous and my feet screamed for three 24-hour days. So I passed the 8.5s on to another Fluevog addict via eBay and came back for a pair of size 9s (gray, white, and yellow) from the Boston store. The size 9s fit like a dream and thanks to Rachel at the Boston store, I finally bought something other than brown, black, or navy.

The only high heels I wear!

Megan - Maryland

These are the only high heels I can wear. I have terribly narrow feet, and all high heels tend to slip off of my heels, but these stay perfectly on my feet. They do tend to hurt after a few hours since I don't wear high heels except for these, and my feet are all "whatcha doin'?". I should try gel pads like the last few reviews have mentioned!

kimberly - Columbia, MD

You really do listen! Thank you so much for reissuing the Gorgeous in colors. I am so excited and can not wait for my pairs (multiple) to arrive on my doorstep. Fluevog you are the BEST!

Best shoes ever!

Alana - Glasgow, UK

I've been wearing these as my everyday summer shoes since 2007. I'm going to have to replace the heel lifts soon, but other than that they're still in fantastic condition. I walk (on average) about three miles a day, plus up and down stairs at work, and as long as I put a gel pad in the toe they are fantastically comfortable. I do agree with the commenter who said she wishes they came in more colours, because it would be nice to get some variety in my footwear without sacrificing comfort and durability. Then again, maybe I should just fly overseas and get a different style, instead!

Wear these at home for awhile first

Sara Darling - Seattle, WA

So these shoes are cute as all get out. I bought my pair approximately six years ago and these shoes may have undergone a serious redesign in the ensuing years. But they hurt my feet. A lot. Even with thick gel insoles. A friend with a different style in this shoe family has the same problem. I break them out once a year anyway because they're just that cute and I do get stopped on the street by people to tell me how fabulous they are, but I would really recommend that you wear them around the house on a carpeted surface for an extended period to make sure they're comfortable before scuffing the soles outside so they're unreturnable. The other five pairs of Fluevogs from other shoe families that I own are comfy as all get out, so I do think this is just a fluke.

Josie - NC

Bring these back in more colors please!

Kimberly - Columbia, MD

A sexy but classic mary jane I own it and love it but I want for you bring back her more colorful sister the Darling! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I love the Q tee but I need the support of the Gorgeous. The marriage made in heaven was the Darling and I need some right now!

Sex on heels!

Sarah Nerd - Ohio

I love these shoes in so many ways! First off, I have large feet. I'm a woman's 12. It's hard to find decent shoes this size in the first place, but finding shoes that look great AND feel great is pretty much impossible for me. The first day I wore these, they seemed a little snug, but by day two it's like they were formed perfectly and comfortably as if they were custom made specifically for my feet.

Another reason these are my favorite shoes, besides the fact that they are the sexiest shoes I own and they make me feel confident is the heels. Although I love the look of heels, I'm a big and clumsy kinda girl. I've bought many shoes because they were cute but they just sit in my closest because I can't walk in the things without looking like a drunk fool. These shoes have the perfect heel for me. They are wide at the base, and have a sturdy sole so I never worry about slipping and sliding, or running my heels into the grass. And they are gorgeous!

If I could have sex with a pair of shoes, these would be the ones!

Amazing heels!

Stacy - Tennessee

I adore these shoes -- and I am a shoe fanatic. I bought them in the Fluevog store in NYC (from the man himself -- he was there visiting) and I have worn them so much. They are very well made, the materials are super-fine and they have enough of an edge that people notice them. This is the black work heel for women who want to stand out a little. They are comfortable, and I'm not usually that comfy in heels. They feel nice and secure and I walk with confidence when I wear them. What could be better than that?

my favourite heels

Karen

I have owned these shoes for over five years, and I still love them. I bought them when I was in my sister's wedding because they matched her wedding shoes (the now-extinct Mini Gorgeous in blue/purple). They were the only pair of heels I owned, and they were so comfortable and fabulous that I decided to give heels a chance. Five years later, I still wear them all the time. I probably need to replace the heel caps soon, but other than that, they are in perfect shape. If I could only own one pair of heels and one pair of Fluevogs, it would be these shoes. Note: when I bought mine, they ran a full size large (i.e. I'm 9.5, bought a 10.5 and it was perfect. I don't know if this is still the case).

These Shoes Are Fantastic

Caitlin - Pittsburgh

Why are they fantastic? They are responsible for breaking me into the world of hot, heeled shoes. If you are high heel shy, these babes will be your gentle guide, with a sturdy rubber sole that will last even as you walk across bridges and over sidewalks on a daily trip to work. They look great when you need to dress up a bit, and every stranger at the bus stop will ask where you got them with their gorgeous profile. Like all well made shoes, these are a bit tight at first, so wear them with some socks to stretch 'em out.
Note: a guy bought them for me, and when I say that is where they came from, he gets endless compliments on his taste, and I get endless compliments on my boyfriend's superior intelligence and woman pleasing skills.
